Surviving the Zombie Apocalypse With My Military System

Seven o'clock in the morning, July 28th, 2023.

Richard stood at the floor-to-ceiling window of the Oriental Building, gazing at the sun shining brightly over the horizon. 

It was a beautiful view as if telling him that this was the next chapter of his life. 

The survivors of the Oriental returned to their respective rooms in the Oriental, which would be temporary as he planned to move them to other commercial buildings available within the Oriental base.

With the wave finished and the territorial expansion completed, Richard could now refocus on rebuilding and refurbishing his military base.

Richard opened his system and checked his status.

[User: Richard Gonzales

Health: 100/100

Age: 21

Level: 25

Experience points: 2,348,658/2,686,741

Summoned Troops: 645/1,000

Available Skill Points: 3

Skills: Weapon Proficiency Level 2, Melee Proficiency Level 2, Driving Proficiency Level 2, Tactical Mastery Level 1.

[Current Balance: 96,986,300 gold coins] 

[Notice: You haven't claimed your daily rewards for today! Go to the Daily Rewards Tab and claim it.]

[Notice: You have two spins in the Wheel of Fortune: Spin the Wheel and win huge prizes!]

"Only three skill points huh?" Richard muttered quietly to himself. He wanted to raise the level of the Tactical Mastery Skill to level two, but he was one skill point short. 

He realized the potential of leveling up the Tactical Mastery Skill as he would be able to come up with tactics more efficiently and effectively. So he decided to wait and level himself to 26. 

Moving on, completing the wave meant it was time to reap the rewards. So he navigated the system and tapped the Wheel of Fortune Icon.

Upon opening the Wheel of Fortune Tab, his brows furrowed. 

[10,000,000 gold coins.

30,000,000 gold coins.

1x Luxurious Chest

Military Aircraft Supply Pack

Military Vehicle Supply Pack

Weapons Supply Pack

Division Pack Personnel

Grand Price: 300,000,000 gold coins. ]

The prizes changed. It wasn't like the usual spins he'd seen before. Richard couldn't help but wonder what had caused this shift in the Wheel of Fortune rewards. Could it be that as he leveled along, the prize in the Wheel of Fortune became more enticing? He pondered this for a moment but decided to take advantage of the opportunity.

What should he want to get? 

For Richard, he is content to receive gold coins as it is the most important resource in the apocalyptic world. It would be nice if he were to receive the grand prize of 200,000,000 gold coins. Imagine how much military hardware he could buy from that. He might surpass the entire Philippine Armed Forces in terms of military hardware.

Without further ado, Richard tapped the spin icon and the Wheel of Fortune began to spin rapidly once again. The anticipation coursed through him as he watched the wheel's colorful segments blur before his eyes. He held his breath, hoping that this time, fortune would favor him with a substantial reward.

The wheel eventually slowed down, and Richard's eyes were locked on the result:

[30,000,000 gold coins.]

A grin broke across Richard's face as he saw the reward. While it wasn't the grand prize, 30,000,000 gold coins was still a significant windfall. It was a substantial boost to his already impressive wealth, and it meant he could invest further in fortifying and expanding his military base.

With a quick tap on the holographic screen, the prize was added to his account. His balance now reads 126,986,300 gold coins. Richard couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction. This would allow him to procure advanced equipment, hire skilled personnel, and continue his mission of rebuilding and securing the Oriental base.

He still had one more spin, so Richard decided to take the risk and give the Wheel of Fortune one more spin. After all, the previous spin had yielded a substantial reward, and he wondered if his luck would continue.

With a sense of excitement, Richard tapped the spin icon once more, watching as the wheel started to whirl in a colorful blur. 

As the wheel gradually slowed down, Richard's heart raced in anticipation. What would this spin bring? He hoped for something that would further enhance his capabilities or resources.

Finally, the wheel stopped, and the result was displayed:

[Weapons Supply Pack]

Richard's brow furrowed in thought as he considered the reward. Weapons were always valuable in this post-apocalyptic world, and a Weapons Supply Pack could contain a variety of advanced firearms, ammunition, and tactical gear. It was a practical and useful prize, even though it wasn't as immediately gratifying as a pile of gold coins.

Or is it? He opened the Weapon Supply Pack and suddenly his field of vision was dominated by the notification tabs:

[Congratulations you have received 1,000x FN SCAR!]

[Congratulations you have received 1,000 M249 Machine Gun!]

[Congratulations you have received 1,000 SR-25!] 

[Congratulations you have received 10,000,000 ammunition! Note: The cartridge can be changed by the user. Ex, 5,000,000 5.56×45mm NATO rounds, 2,000,000 7.62×51mm NATO rounds, etc.]

[Congratulations you have received 1,000 M67 grenades!]

[Congratulations you have received 1,000 M9 Beretta!]

[Congratulations you have received 1,000 tactical uniforms! Note: the design of the tactical uniforms can be modified by the user.]

After reading all the notifications, Richard smiled in satisfaction again. It wasn't so bad after all. He wouldn't have to buy weapons for his future troops, saving him gold coins. As for tactical uniforms, Richard had been thinking of redesigning the current uniform of the Blackwatch troops. He wanted to make it look more intimidating.

The problem is that where is he going to store all those weapons? Fortunately, there is a Lock and store self-storage company within the Oriental. He can repurpose it to be the Blackwatch's armory where weapons and ammunition could be securely stored and maintained. It was a convenient solution to his newfound abundance of weaponry.

The next thing he is going to do is claim the daily rewards. At the end of the week, he wondered if the reward was particularly generous, perhaps even comparable to the Wheel of Fortune prizes he had just received. 

Excitement building, he navigated to the Daily Rewards Tab and tapped on it to claim his daily rewards.

[Congratulations: You have received a random capsule! Possibly containing an experience boost capsule, gold boost capsule, and discount capsule that can last for one week]

"Oh…" Richard mused and opened the random capsule. He hoped that it would be a gold discount capsule so he could go on a shopping spree. But to his dismay, he got an experience boost capsule. 

It seems like his luck had run out. If it were before the wave, he might have increased his level by four and five.

He then went to his shop tab and saw if he had unlocked more military hardware. There were new additions, one of which was something that he only saw in movies. 

[AC-130 Gunship 25,000,000 gold coins] 

"Fuck!" Richard cursed delightedly. But what made him even happier is that the discount capsule is still in effect and will expire at ten o'clock in the morning. 

"Let's go shopping," Richard smirked.
